Since LDM-6 has been available for over a year now, and since it shows
dramatic performance improvements over LDM-5.x, and since it runs LDM-5
protocols way more efficiently than LDM-5.x, we have stopped trying to
build LDM-5 on any OS.

We want to strongly encourage you use the most recent version of
LDM-6, ldm-6.0.14, -- which is known to build and run nicely on RedHat
9 Linux (and also Fedora Core 1) -- instead of fighting LDM-5.2.2 build
problems.

Is there some reason you feel that you must use LDM-5?  If yes, please
let me know so I can work harder to convince you to move to LDM-6 :-)
